Fucking chlooranthy, havel RaF and prisoners chain on every fucking build.

DaS3 really dropped the ball on rings.

I know that feeling mate. I'm supposed to be working on my bachelor's thesis and I only installed the game for this weekend I'm afraid :/

thanks miyazaki, time to find another franchise

was it good in a previous game?
>Y: Nerf it to shit
>N: make it alright
>wasn't in a previous game: make it absolutely necessary for every build of its type

>tfw to smart to be good at video games

mfw you hold off and kill multiple bluefags and summons but they keep coming
>host runs around like a faggot for 15 minutes

having fast reflexes matters more in DS3 than knowing how to optimize stats, boss fights feel like a bad rhythm game more than a rpg now

rev up that washing pole bro

keep believing that bro

Almost every boss is about timing instead of reflexes

You're objectively wrong.
If your reflexes are what's holding you back from properly dodging most attacks in DS3, you legally shouldn't be allowed to operate a motor vehicle.
The attacks are telegraphed and predictable, it's down to timing, not reflexes.

roll souls 3 is garbage
remove dark souls 2 and 3

You can beat BB without dodgerolling, just saying.

Bloodborne is also probably the easiest game out of the franchise if you're just shooting for completion and don't care about any of the optional content.

>timing instead of reflexes
that only applies to bosses where you have already memorized the moves and practiced enough to start building up muscle memory

Just because you see a boss winding up doesn't mean you know when to roll until they -actually- start their attack, which is a really narrow, reaction-time precise window in DS3 compared to DS2 or DS1, where boss wind ups were shorter

DS1/2 bosses had shorter telegraphs but they lead into attacks more sensibly instead of these jerky "REACT FAST" attacks of DS3

Invade as a purple instead.

What am I even reading? DS3 bosses have ridiculously long windups for the most part.

What shitters have trouble with is that they see the windup, reaction roll and then they get caught on recovery because the bosses intentionally delay attacks to rollcatch. Most bosses that hit hard in the base game have windups that last several seconds in many cases like Nameless King.

Conversely in DeS bosses like Maneaters, Flamelurker and King Allant had very quick startups and played a lot like DS3 / BB bosses.

Thats because for the average player game would be ridiculously easy if they didn't wary the attack timings

Actually you are right, the game wasn't made to cater handicapped people like yourself, it was made to give challenge to players the past two games can no longer give.

Ranked up in Rosaria's for ring, Sirri and I aren't friends anymore. I wish I had known this would happen, but I didn't. Question is, will she also not talk to me in NG+, since I assume covenant ranks carry over?

What weapon will allow me to the the most damage in a single blow?
I want HUGE damage numbers.
HUGE.
I don't care about speed.
Strength build, ideally. I want some Arc of Deliverance type shit.

NPC quest lines are reset along with each game cycle, you are fine if you to ng+

what level do you want to stop at?
what game? ds3?

Yeah, but what worries me is that when I meet her in NG+, she'll see my fingering rank and tell me to fuck off right then and there. Because me gaining a rank is what triggered her to leave now.

I just want to stupid Creighton armor

>waifufags in charge of actually playing the game

Somebody told me to play dark souls 2 without a shield for the most fun... this doesn't seem to be working all that well after a few hours

DS3, 120.
I mean to post this image. I guess I fucked up, making the other one more appropriate.

lothric knight greatsword

sharp, 16 str, 40 dex, 60 faith, lightning blade

DS1 power within red tearstone ring crytal soul spear
DS2 Climax/Soul Gyser/powerstanced lightning sunlight weapon smelter hammers
DS3 bleed sellsword twinblades

that slow walk through the door tho

what said then
keep using the WA or charged R2s, you might get a leo ring for the R2s since they deal thrusting damage

nah, don't listen to these casuls, what you want is this

youtube.com/watch?v=mK1SnpT4JiQ

tumblebuffing got patched
also good luck using heavy weapons in dragon form now that poise got reworked

for SL120 DS3:
27/80 sharp Lothric Knight GS w/ gold pine resin (835), or 27/40/40 lightning blade (847)

For DS2:
40/40 dark resonant weapon leo ring dark clutch flynn's ring grand lance (~911 base damage with 180% multiplier on counter hits). Against most enemies it will do 1600+ damage with its 2HR2s.

For DS1:
leo ring 40/40/40 greatsword with sunlight blade, or dark bead hypermode.

was the everlasting dragon supposed to be a boss?
youtu.be/SSDsvzfYcmI

16/40/60 with lightning blade gets 896 AR

>For DS1:
>leo ring 40/40/40 greatsword with sunlight blade
does it deal more damage than the dragon king greataxe
also DMB is superior to SLB if you max the darkmoon covenant

Doing my first playthrough.

Using Irithril Straight Sword +3 & Silver Edge Kite Shield +5 with the Abyss Watchers Set

Someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong

str/dex is too high

focus on getting 40 vig/end first

Is there any way I can re-spec?

rosaria at the cathedral of the deep

Ignore him, nothing wrong with what you are doing.

But you should get some more vigor in your next levels.

You sure?

I didn't have any pale tongues so I guess I'll go ahead and put some points in vigor

Greatsword is weaker in its unbuffed, non-counter R2s. Everywhere else, it's a lot stronger, since it has higher base AR, can be buffed, and gains 68% damage counter damage

Dragon king greataxe requires a lot lower stats to get max damage out of though

No, ignore him , if you're having trouble that's exactly what you need to do.

the only thing wrong is the FTH leveled to use fire orb, don't bother with pyromancy unless you plan to fully commit
the str/dex is completely fine, just focus on the defensive stats instead of these for some time now

You're fine, though you're stopping short on some of your stats.

Faith should stop 15 for replenishment (very good non-scaling faith miracle that provides passive healing at low FP cost), unless you plan on taking it all the way to 60.

Strength should stop at 27

dex should stop at 40

vigor should stop at 27 or 39

Nah you are wrong.

Most of the bosses are easier with higher damage than high health.

>killed Pursuer with nothing but powerstanced Caestuses
am I finally gud at PvE /dsg/?

Yeah, I was kinda regretting after going down the pyromancy route. I'll just do what says

On a side note, I'm at Church of Yorshka, anyone wanna help me with the boss?

She only leaves if you give tongue to rosaria in current playthrough (respecs does not count)

>On a side note, I'm at Church of Yorshka, anyone wanna help me with the boss?

Sure. Password?

Nah, pursuer is easy as shit
Do alonne ng+7 caesti only and then maybe we can talk

Pass dsg

sign's down.

Got it, thanks a million.
I expected some kinda greataxe/hammer. This should be a fun run.

Damn. First try. Thanks bro!

Should I get the Profaned Greatsword? Is it worth it?

What little things make you erect, /dsg/?
>breast curve with heavy armor on
>heavy breathing when stamina is low

>turn on region lock
>get teleporting Indonesian who spams Avelyn from distance and runs away to protected heal everytime he gets hit

I need to find new game.

anything in specific?

Fire keeper in DaS3. She's just so soft and fragile. Stepping on her head

buying farron ring paying 5 dorra on pay pal [PC]

ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORRRRAAAA
Deal, i don't need it anyway

u wot
just kill wolf niggers

Compared to GSoJ? Yes. It's probably the best quality (40 strength, 40 dex) UGS.

ok my pass is az1, first bonfire lothric wall, please tell me your char name and paypall email or any mail you want to PM in one post

a cat is fine too

the conniption dude gives you one but i killed him

>friend gets dark souls 3 cause he sees me playing it
>gets very upset over trivial things like falling or dying to a regular enemy for being greedy
>gives up by dilapidated bridge
>mfw he drops the game and continues to play skyrim every single day
Don't know how some people are so easily disheartened.

Fairly new to the game, i'm at the bonfire but can't see any summon signs. My character name is "Easy2WreckU B-)" no bully.

people called Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy hard and too much like Dark Souls
Niggers these days don't know what challenge even means. And by challenge I mean "wait 2 seconds then hit R1, rinse repeat"

ok, thought i was summoning you. omw :)

Your friend is a true casul. There's no redemption.
He goes back to skyrim because it's no-skill-required all stats based gameplay while the souls series is the other way around.
sure, stats matter in souls but you can literally beat all bosses no dodging/blocking NG+7 at SL1 so...

You the armor fetish user?

can you see it ?

at least you didn't get a smart ass red
sorry for piss filter

Who's the most annoying NPC?

My vote

No?
I just like stronk independent women in armor
I do indeed have an armor fetish though,
which is mostly why I play Dark Souls at all

No. But i've typed the password into the network menu. Where'd you leave the sign?

near the bonfire. try switching on the cross region matchmaking

you better post some armored qts

Got anything where different miracles combo together?

I turned it on, reloaded the area, and enkindled myself. Can't see the sign right now.

I tried to tell him the game gets easier and the beginning areas arent fun to try to pull him back in but it appears he wasted 60 dollars for 3 hours of gameplay.
>mfw he wanted me with curse rotted greatwood
>dies because he forgets to sippy (first death playing with him)
>"I'm done." starts up skyrim mutes his mic and sound while everyone else plays souls
Even my shitter friend whose silver 3 in CSGO managed to play this game and enjoy it, and all he plays is cs and fucking indie games...

you sure you at the lothric WALL? if not try putting down the summon sign, i'll see if i can see you

High wall of Lorthric area, High Wall of Lothric bonfire. Trying the sign now.

My collection is completely private.
It consists of 75% Hosts that summoned me, 15% personal faces and fashion, and 10% NPCs from the game itself.
I only play vidya for fetish purposes.
I have over 4k hours in one game simply because it feeds five of my fetishes in one go.
Do not underestimate autism

To be fair I have hundreds of hours in DS3 and I still nearly uninstall the game after fighting greatwood.
